Nobody who buys a shirt is trying to look like a member of the team. It's just about "wearing your colours" as a way of supporting the team. Whether it makes a slightest bit of difference to a performance is open to debate, but there is no doubt that a set of fans in colours is far more impressive than one that's not (and probably more inspiring that hearing songs about stabbing Swindon fans as well). Fans, even the most hardcore supporters around the world, wear club shirts. It's only in England that some fans seem to have a hang up about it.
I assume you are backing my point ?
Whether you wear the 06-07 or the 09-10 shirt you are 'wearing the colours'. In a mass of Newcastle fans I can see loads of black and white stripes but I have no idea if they are all 100% up to the minute in the latest incarnation of the shirt.
So why the fuss about whether there is a new shirt or not if you already have one ?
